Chapter 54: Chanting Her Name in Coma

In the hunting palace, cicadas chirped.

The people outside the tent were drowsy, but were awakened by a burst of angry shouts:

"Nonsense! Rong Ge'er is my nephew! I've seen him clearly for over twenty years! Since he took the initiative to ask for your hand in marriage at the Qixi Festival banquet, I absolutely would not do anything to let you down."

"He is still in a coma. When he wakes up, I will personally find out what happened and give you an explanation!"

"What's more, you saved Rong Ge'er's life. I will never allow these people to mistreat you!"

"There's no need to mention the cancellation of the engagement!" The emperor said decisively, not allowing Xu Rongrong to question him. "You've worked hard tonight, so go back to the tent first!" Xu Rongrong: "..."

There is no need to talk about this anymore...

The Queen, who was standing by, took a look at Xu Rongrong's frail appearance and felt a little sorry for her. She ordered Mu Qianyin, "Send Sister Rong back and take good care of her."

Mu Qianyin quickly agreed. She was trembling with anger. If the Queen hadn't sent her away, she would have kicked Lin Jiaoyue. She had always thought she was cheerful and had similar temperaments, so she had always been on good terms with her. She would occasionally ask her for news about Rong Ge'er, and she would tell her everything she knew.

Who would have thought that the man would have such thoughts, knowing that Rong Ge'er was already engaged, he still deliberately seduced her.

Brother Rong...Brother Rong is also a brainless guy!

It’s a waste of time to hurt such a good girl like Rong Jie’er.

Therefore, she supported Xu Rongrong and walked out of the tent with love in her heart.

Being forced to leave made Xu Rongrong realize that it was impossible to use this opportunity to cancel her engagement with Mu Rong.

……

The next morning, two pieces of news spread throughout the Hunting Palace.

One is that Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong was out of danger last night, and the imperial physician said he would wake up soon.

Another piece of news is...

The emperor issued an edict last night, deposing Lin Jiaoyue from the title of Princess Qingyang, but the reason was not mentioned in the edict. It was probably to protect the face of her father Lin Zhihen.

When she heard the news, Xu Rongrong leaned on the couch and sighed.

In her previous life, Lin Jiaoyue not only had a father who was the Minister of War, but also had the support of an elder brother who was the commander-in-chief of the northern border.

So, she took advantage of the Marquis of Weiyuan's absence and lured him out of the capital. After nearly causing a disaster, the Empress simply reprimanded her and let it go, and the Emperor never intervened. Meanwhile, her brother, Lin Yunce, was still only a minor General of the Capital Guards, not as prominent as he had been in his previous life. Therefore, the Emperor was much more ruthless in dealing with her.

Although I didn't achieve my goal of breaking off the engagement with Mu Rong, I was able to vent my anger for my past life, which is better than nothing.

She flipped through the medical book in her hand and quickly put these unpleasant things behind her.

Outside the hunting palace not far away, the carriage was ready and Lin Jiaoyue was about to be sent back to the capital.

A skinny horse was carrying a dilapidated small carriage.

The princess's ceremonial procession, drawn by two horses and featuring such grandeur when she arrived, is now gone.

Although Lin Zhihen was the Minister of War, he was not in the capital for this hunting trip, so he did not come to accompany the emperor.

Lin Jiaoyue, deposed as a princess, was now no different from an ordinary court lady. Furthermore, she had offended the emperor, so she could no longer remain in the hunting palace. She sat in the carriage, weeping uncontrollably.

The dilapidated carriage had a disgusting smell. How could she have ever suffered such hardship?

That’s all fine.

She was deposed from her title of princess and publicly reprimanded by the emperor. She knew without even looking that countless women were pointing fingers at her carriage...

She didn't know how things could change like this overnight.

She went from being a high and mighty princess to being a laughing stock.

Her only chance to turn the tables was Mu Rong, who was still in a coma.

As long as he admitted that everything that happened last night was caused by him, he could relieve her current embarrassment.

But, will he really help me turn the tables?

She still hasn't figured out what Mu Rong was going to do last night!

"Miss Lin, it's time to set off." The eunuch who was responsible for sending her back to Beijing said indifferently.

In this way, the carriage slowly left in the scorching sun.

From a distance, it looks a little vicissitudes of life.

Only when there was no trace of him did the Fourth Prince Wu Tianqi come out of the tent.

The attendant who had been guarding outside said, "Mu Xin'er, who was with Miss Lin, came here last night, but I didn't let her get close."

Wu Tianqi nodded: "You did the right thing."

"But... although Miss Lin has lost her title of princess, the Lin family is still useful to Your Highness... wouldn't it be unkind for Your Highness to ignore her?"

Wu Tianqi sneered, "Before, we were at a disadvantage, and that old bastard Lin Zhihen used her to tease me. But now, her face is almost swollen from being beaten by my father. Who else would want her besides me?" In the end, he had to thank that idiot Lin Jiaoyue! With her own efforts, she reversed his disadvantage in dealing with the Lin family.

……

For the entire day, what mistake Lin Jiaoyue had made and why she had angered His Majesty became the most concerned topic among the women in the Hunting Palace.

Lin Jiaoyue's punishment and Weiyuan Hou's injury occurred at the same time. Could there be something going on between the two...

The female relatives became more and more excited as they thought about it, and some even came to Xu Rongrong's tent to watch, hoping to get some information from her.

Xu Rongrong had no intention of chatting with them.

She knew that in their eyes, she had become the same topic of conversation as Lin Jiaoyue.

Anyway, she is now a county lady of the second rank, so no matter how curious those people are, they dare not offend her.

Close the door and let them talk about their own things. In the afternoon, the imperial physician came to ask for an audience, with a sincere face and wanted to know more about the blood-drying grass.

Xu Rongrong did not hide anything and told him her conjecture about why the Sanguisorba officinalis was there. She also took him to the steep slope and explained in detail how to dig and maintain it.

The sudden sight of such a rare item had already greatly shocked the Imperial Physician, not to mention her generous generosity in teaching him everything she knew.

This one thing alone was enough to make him bow down to Xu Rongrong.

After being busy for more than an hour, Xu Rongrong finally had time to return to the camp.

Wen Yao came forward, frowning, "Master Yi is here to look for the young lady."

Xu Rongrong raised her eyes and saw Mu Yi walking back and forth in front of her tent with a guilty look on his face.

"Is there anything wrong, Master Yi?" Xu Rongrong walked over and asked.

"I...I would like to ask the county lady to go see the Marquis." Xu Rongrong was a little surprised: "Is the Marquis awake?"

"Not awake yet."

"Then you need to call the imperial physician."

Mu Yi lowered his voice, "The imperial physician has come to see him and said that he will wake up soon if he takes the medicine on time. But the Marquis has been unconscious, and I can't feed him the medicine..."

"You don't even have a way to administer medicine when you're marching and fighting?"

"I have tried everything, but it doesn't work..." Mu Yi's eyes were evasive as he spoke.

Xu Rongrong sneered, "You mean to ask me to serve the Marquis?"

Mu Yi nodded, his face sincere: "The Marquis has been saying the county lady's name while he was unconscious, so I dare to..."

"But before he passed out, he was chanting the princess's name. You might as well be braver and ride a fast horse to bring Miss Lin back to serve her." Mu Yi: "..."
